synchronized orbit. [Full text]
This place is 36,000 kilometers away from the ground and is a restricted area for life.
Steel, plastic, and unshelled shells floated in the silent space. Behind this piece of space junk stood a space station the size of an aircraft carrier.
The rod of God.
It was completed in 2025 and has been continuously improved by nato for more than a hundred years, developing into the behemoth it is today. From the initial space-based weapon satellite, it has evolved into today's space-based weapon platform.
The tungsten rod bullets bound by a dodecagonal metal ring float quietly beside the space station, just like a loaded revolver. The dual effects of electromagnetic propulsion and gravitational potential energy can allow tungsten rod projectiles weighing several tons to fall at a speed exceeding that of meteors, causing terrifying kinetic energy damage to the strike area.
In addition to tungsten rod rounds, laser arrays and HPM weapons on the front mast. A wireless power transmission receiving device is installed at the rear, which can be powered by a nuclear fusion power station built on the moon. When lunar power transmission is unavailable, power can also be obtained by deploying solar power panels. The eight engines placed at the corners of the space station enable the weapon platform to move between low-Earth orbit and synchronous orbit to adjust its suppression area.
Like the Sword of Damocles hanging above his head.
However, the irony is that this "suppressive weapon" that cost generations of taxpayers' tax dollars was captured by PAC's aerospace special forces in the early stages of the outbreak of the Eastern War, with their unflinching fighting will.
"The power system has been repaired." Lin Chaoen smiled and wiped his forehead in a humane manner.
Although he doesn't sweat, talking in a vacuum is meaningless.
It took him a lot of effort to repair this thing within a month. There are suspended corpses everywhere in the space station. Because they are in a vacuum and low temperature environment, these corpses still maintain their appearance before death. Outside the cockpit, he also encountered a sentry robot whose battery had not yet been exhausted. But with the laser sword in hand, he easily solved this trouble.
"The tungsten rod firing S device is normal... Hiss, it's really nerve-wracking. Forget it. Anyway, it's okay to just use it." Looking at the warning icons on the screen, Lin Chaoen clapped his hands.
There is one tungsten rod bullet left, and some of the remaining rounds have flown out of the synchronous orbit, and some have fallen into the sea at the beginning of the space station's fall. Others are troublesome, floating in orbit thousands of kilometers away.
The entire space-based weapons platform was completely destroyed. After discovering that Pac had seized control, Nato's commander immediately initiated self-destruction, turning the entire space station into a dead place. It seems that the spirit of sacrifice is not the patent of a certain country, when faced with life and death moments. Any living thing will make the "correct choice" reflexively.
But unfortunately, often this choice follows a series of "bad choices."
So, biology is really a troublesome thing.
Lin Chaoen shook his head, reached out and tapped a few keys on the touch pad.
Fortunately, he obtained the drawings of some of the equipment of this space-based weapon and prepared the parts that needed to be replaced on the ground. Although most of the functions of the "Rod of God" have been destroyed, the simple "shooting" action can still be performed.
"Can I only send the S option?"
After launching the map of Wanghai City, Lin Chaoen looked down at the screen with a smile.
In the picture, NAC soldiers are fighting fiercely with zombies and alien species. Afterwards, rows of incendiary bombs cover the battlefield. The entire airport's zombie mutants were engulfed in flames.
"Nice fireworks. Well, order has been established...so may I assume you represent purity?"
Looking at the sparks on the screen with a smile, there were faint afterimages of data in his pupils.
The camera moved and the crosshair was pointed at the rocket launch S field. Jiang Chen in the picture was tapping the tablet with great interest.
"Then you are Harmony."
The picture was once again focused on the city center, the giant tree floating in the water. The rolling bubbles seemed to be gestating terrifying energy.
Which is the greater threat
There was only one bullet in the revolver.
Looking down at the battlefield from a god's perspective, Lin Chaoen couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
…
Under the incendiary bombs, the First Corps and the Third Corps encountered almost no resistance and met next to the runway of Wanghai Airport.
Although the airport's runway was rugged by bombs during the war. At this moment, it was completely blackened by incendiary bombs, but after some rest, it can still be used as an airport. Jiang Chen had earlier ordered Vault 27 to research fighter technology, and initial results have been achieved.
And this Wanghai Airport. It can be developed and used as a take-off and landing site for NAC fighter jets.
After a short rest, the two corps merged into one place and hit the road again, advancing towards the city center with the support of roaring rockets.
Along the way, although they encountered slingers, death claws, and even terrifying car bugs, they still could not stop the advancement of the nac soldiers.
While pushing forward. Along the way, alien nests were destroyed. When encountering creatures such as car bugs and R-mountains, use the electromagnetic gun. When encountering dense alien swarms, call for rocket support. When encountering alien nests hidden in ruins, send infantry into buildings or sewers to clear them out.
A total of 91 alien nests and 371 mother bodies of zombies were destroyed along the way. Abnormal life signals on the map were removed one by one.
As they gradually approached the restricted area of life, the radiation level gradually increased. The soldiers took out their chemical protective suits from the truck and put them on, put on their breathing masks, and continued towards the city center.
Da da-
The fire jumped and the shells peeled off. Feng Yu pulled the trigger methodically and moved forward under the cover of the infantry vehicle's firepower.
"What is that?"
A soldier looked at the fluorescent lake among the ruins in the distance and couldn't help but ask.
"The nuclear crater is said to be the place where Death Claws lay eggs?" Another soldier said with a grin while scanning the zombies with a machine gun.
"It doesn't look like it. There is water in the pit. I remember Deathclaw's eggs were laid on the shore... What is that?"
A hill made of dark red R blocks stands on the shimmering fluorescent lake. The blood vessels densely covered on its surface are scattered among the R-vesicles, squirming with the rhythm of blood flow. The roots at the bottom are planted into the lake, just like a giant tree with roots in the lake.
Especially on the top, there is a glowing R bubble hanging from the cilia.
Just like a light bulb.
"This is Team E. We found an unknown creature and requested shelling. Repeat..."
Not daring to be careless, Feng Yu immediately raised the EP and fed back the intelligence ahead to the command vehicle.
The communicator was filled with a lot of noise, and there seemed to be some kind of strong interference in this area. Even the ep, which is known for its stability, the screen started to flicker.
"Electromagnetic shielding? Or is there an EMP generation device nearby that has not been turned off?" The soldier standing next to Feng Yu muttered while changing the magazine.
On the horizon, rockets appeared again in everyone's eyes.
The flames instantly covered the R pile, and the overwhelming rockets not only washed away the nuclear crater, but also burned an isolation zone composed of a sea of fire on the east side of the city center.
However, when the smoke dissipated, Feng Yu stared at the R pile in disbelief with his eyes widened, and even forgot to pull the trigger.
The alien species were dead and wounded everywhere, but that R pile...
Unscathed!
How can this be!
However, before he could even scream out in surprise, the R pile slowly moved.
The light ball at the top gradually turned red and shone with an unsettling light. Unknown particles were stirring in the air, condensing into a solid red light. Even the clouds slowly dispersed under the brewing power.
It seems to be preparing something!
Almost at the same time, electronic equipment throughout Wanghai City was interfered with to varying degrees.
"It's malfunctioning?"
Jiang Chen looked solemnly at the tablet in his hand. At this moment, the center of the screen was already covered in snowflake white. The connection between frontline intelligence and support troops was instantly cut off, causing him to not even know whether the R pile in the city center had been solved.
Suddenly, he felt like he was being watched.
Jiang Chen suddenly raised his head and looked into the sky.
At this moment, a dazzling white light flickered in the sky.
Something is falling!
The distance of 36,000 kilometers passed in an instant, and the dazzling white light quickly slid through the air and fell towards the city center...
Jiang Chen frowned slightly, and then his eyes widened in disbelief.
For some reason, a word suddenly appeared in his mind, or a familiar picture.
The weapon that appeared in virtual reality.
The rod of God!
